I haven't even built my bleadperl yet, but I did finally study the pod
for Encode. One thing I would like to use it for which will probably
crop up anytime I have unicode data is to encode to iso-8859-1 with a
fallback to another notation if the character is out of range.

So what I'd really really like is an implementation of CHECK, any of the
3 scenarios presented will work for me, as I only need to insert into
the result some_func($theProblemChar). One useful such function for web
work is making an XML/HTML character entity like … but I can also
imagine replacement with images (yuk).
